I am just wondering. I am sure it's not a Tom Cruz salary. |

Generally speaking for a newcomer, a one year or two year contract begins around $150,000.00 a year. The longer you are on a show the more you can ask for when renewal time comes around if you are still being written for. People like Erica (Vicki on OLTL) Susan Lucci on AMC, Eric (Victor) on Y & R draw amazingly high salaries for 20 plus years on their shows. They are all extremely wealthy. |

:-) I am sure they earn(ed) every cent. Without those veteran actors (in my opinion) Soaps would have vanished a long time ago.How do they remember all those lines? Do they use prompters,cards? Amazing and they make it look so simple..lol..lol |

For someone new to soaps the minimum would be around $700/per episode or even much less, depending on many different factors. Plus they are only guaranteed 1 to 3 days a week of work. |
